Amra Kojon literally means “a few of us” in Bangla. A few years ago, a group of music lovers from both Bengals came together in celebration of their motherland and language, beyond the borders of religion, country, politics and local organizations.

Post-production updates

If you've been keeping up with all the updates made to the Amra Kojon website - well, then you're already up-to-date, good for you. For those who've missed the recent updates, thought I'd let you know what's happening :)

We've added the April 22 Photo-Gallery to the website. Now, you can find all rehearsal pictures, behind the scenes pictures, party pictures and pictures from the show all neatly organized in one place.

If you have pictures taken on the day of the show and want to share your pictures through our photo gallery, please get back to us. Comment in response to this post and we can get back in touch with you to coordinate picture collection :)

Remember how there were 4 professional photographers on the day of the show? Well, they've taken exceptionally beautiful shots of the performance, stage, backstage, the lobby area and of the audience members. Their online exhibits are also linked from the Photo-Gallery page.

The performer profile pages have been put up on the web. Yes, some are still under construction, as I coordinate with Mark, our current web-saavy volunteer, and some are missing the biographical profiles. If you haven't given me your profile yet, or your friend hasn't (and you can tell because their profile reads "coming soon") - now is a good time to get in touch with me.

We are waiting to receive the original sound track from ATN Bangla - after which, Chip, our talented videographer friend, will create the individual mp3 files to post along with each performer profile. We will then work on finishing the video editing of the show, and posting the songs on the website. What else? Oh yea, Matt, our documentary director/producer, will be working with the various interview footage to create a coherent "The spirit of Amra Kojon" clip. Again, once all that is done, you'll be able to access a lot of those materials through our website.

We're short-staffed - as always. If you want to volunteer in some capacity to deal with the logistics and post-production followups, please let us know :)

And in the meantime, enjoy the pictures from the show at the Photo-Gallery!
